Re: That inedible Pear

I wonder from the description given if the fruit might be a perry pear, the kind of pear used since the Middle Ages to make perry - the pear equivalent of cider. People in the UK and France might be able to comment. My experience is very limited but the trees, real pears, are very large, tall trees and the fruits though hard and fibrous are real pears.
